Abstract:
|
This paper analyses the effect achieved by products packaged for marketing, imported in the extensive group of ovoid amphorae, based on the analysis of closed and well-dated contexts of Hispania Citerior/Tarraconensis, mainly of the Late-Republican period. The link between Brindisian and Ancient African amphorae, which constitutes the framework of the Hispanic ovoid amphorae, is also emphasised. From the middle of the 1st century BC, exports of Hispanic origin in ovoid amphorae are widespread: a major milestone that indicates the complete integration of Hispanic agricultural and commercial productions into the Mediterranean markets. The paper also looks at, first, the impact of different products, emphasizing the role of amphorae of the type Tarraconense 1 that were preferably distributed in the north-eastern area of the Iberian Peninsula, and, then, the emergence of imports in ovoid amphorae from the Guadalquivir from the middle of the 1st century BC, especially that of Ovid 1/LC67 amphorae, alongside the regular presence of the other ovoid amphorae in the contexts of the territories under scrutiny. It is also pointed out that there is a morphological connection between all these amphorae, and that such a connection could be due to a shift in economic interests from Italy to the provinces. |
Resumen:
|
A partir del análisis de contextos anfóricos cerrados y bien datados de Hispania Citerior/Tarraconense, principalmente de época tardorrepublicana, se analiza el calado que tuvieron las importaciones de productos comercializables envasados en la amplia familia de ánforas ovoides. Se remarca la asociación de las ánforas de Brindisi y las Africanas Antiguas, siendo los modelos de referencia de las ánforas ovoides hispánicas. A partir de mediados del siglo I a. C. se generalizan las exportaciones de origen hispano en ánforas ovoides, un verdadero hito productivo que indica la plena integración de las producciones agrícola-mercantiles hispanas en los mercados mediterráneos. Se analiza el impacto de las distintas producciones destacando la distribución preferente de las ánforas Tarraconense 1 en el área nororiental peninsular, la eclosión de las importaciones ovoides del Guadalquivir a partir de mediados del siglo I a.C., especialmente de las ánforas Ovoide 1/LC67, así como la presencia regular del resto de ánforas ovoides en los contextos de los territorios analizados. Se destaca la conexión formal de todas estas ánforas cuya causa podría estar originada por desplazamientos de intereses económicos desde Italia a las provincias. |
